Fran Gautier of Lexington takes a photo of the Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra's mural on the back wall of The Kentucky Theatre.
Gautier said "It is absolutely fabulous", and she can't wait to see the finished product.
She admits that she zoomed in on one of her photos and said it looked like a psychedelic abstraction of a very well known iconic piece of sculpture. She has been documenting the progress for a few days as she walks from her home to the library.
